> Please note: the dubcon tag is basically due to Athos' thoughts -- it's perceived rather than genuine, but tagged to be on the safe side. I assure you that if Milady didn't consent he'd know it.

“I get no pleasure from witnessing your humiliation,” he had said to her once but it’s not quite true; he wants to humiliate her, to put her on her knees and use her until she’s weeping and begging and all those artifices that make up Milady fall away, to keep her on edge for hours as recompense for the years he’d had to wake up hard and yearning and alone. He wants to wreck her, to fuck her so thoroughly she cannot so much as kiss another man without thinking of him. He wants the world to know she’s _his_ , and the desire just intensifies as he’s forced to stand back and watch as she works the room, smiles at one nobleman and laughs at another’s jest. Athos the musketeer knows it’s a task, just like any he’s been set in his time in the regiment, but Athos the husband bristles possessively every time he sees eyes linger on her too long or a hand shift just past the polite boundary on her body. Athos the musketeer knows it’s not her choice. Athos the husband doesn't care.

He wasn’t supposed to be on duty tonight, but an unexpected illness means he’s been called in -- as captain rather than as guard, which means he’s having to play noble and politician and despising every moment of it. It makes it even harder to ignore Anne as she mingles with the glittering throngs, when he has to pay attention to the people rather than the room.

She crosses his path more than once, just closely enough that he can hear her skirts whisper and catch a breath of her perfume. At first he thinks it must be an accident, but as it repeats he becomes certain it’s nothing of the sort. It’s clear she’s noticed him noticing, too; the next time she passes him there’s a familiar smirk playing at the corner of her mouth. It does nothing to alleviate his frustration -- if anything, it just makes him that much more irate. It also prompts a stirring in his breeches, because she knows precisely what she’s doing to him, and that changes everything. She’s fired the opening salvo, and he would be a poor soldier indeed if he chose not to engage.

But he waits; he has little choice, when he must not hinder her duties, no matter how much he may want to. He waits and he watches and he burns, equal parts anger and frustrated desire, and consoles himself with thoughts of burying himself in the wet heat of her mouth or her cunt, of her eyes gone dark and liquid and her body trembling with desperate desire, of turning all that thwarted longing back on her. _Oh,_ he thinks as she passes him again, the spark of a challenge in her gaze, _you’ll regret that before the night is out -- once I remind you of your place._

The moment she slips towards the exit, he makes his apologies to the vicomte he’s conversing with and follows suit. It takes her longer, for all that he is farther away, and when he enters the dimly lit corridor she’s but a handful of paces ahead of him. He closes the distance once she’s around the first corner, gripping her arm (too tightly, but in the moment he doesn’t give a damn -- in the moment he _wants_ the bruise that will follow) and steering her down a narrower side route.

“What the devil are you doing?” she demands as he pulls her along with him, but he ignores the question for the moment -- ignores everything but the heat of her now so tantalisingly close and how his cock aches and his head swims with her nearness. This smaller pathway is narrower, darker, the candles spaced further apart and leaving shadowed spaces where two people might come together, and halfway down he abruptly pushes her up against the wall and swallows her indignant cry before it can do more than bubble up in her throat.

He does not release her; he tightens his grip instead, free hand splaying over the back of her head, beneath the elaborate upswept braids, and holding her steady as he claims her mouth. She fights him -- he would expect no less -- for control of the kiss but also to break free, and he shifts his hand from her bicep, wrestles both wrists behind her and bites her lower lip in warning. “Don’t,” he growls, not bothering to temper the very real anger that underscores the command.

“Athos --”

“It seems that you need a reminder of the order of things, _wife_.”

“Because you’ve always done such a good job of heeding them?” she spits back. There's defiance in her eyes as she glares at him, and with all the emotions riding him it would be dangerously easy to hurt her. He has seen her kill a man and yet the bones of her wrists feel delicate, almost fragile in his grip; he suspects he could break them easily enough if he tried, but that’s not what he wants, not when he’s after so much more than pain.

And the words -- god, the words just remind him of those hands on her in the hall, of hands that have strayed further, of the men who have been inside her over the years and he needs to erase them all _now_. He cannot wait until the evening has progressed far enough that they can leave, can barely _think_ through the anger and arousal that tangle up in each other. He cannot remember the last time he was this hard.

“You’re mine.” It comes out low, raw, a clear demand.

She spits in his face.

Before he truly registers what he’s done he’s spun her around and pushed her face-first into the wall. The breath whooshes out of her in a startled grunt as he uses his weight to pin her there, one shoulder against her own and his hand still caging her wrists. “ _Mine_ ,” he repeats, grinding against her hip as if to emphasise his point, “and you would do well to remember that.”

Her laugh startles him, low and rich and altogether too smug. “I married a gentleman.” Her hips twitch against his, an unmistakeable tease. “All I see here is a brute of a soldier, gone far too long without --”

The crack of his hand against her backside is enough to silence her; even through the layers of skirts she surely felt that. And it’s a mark but it’s not any of the ones he wants to leave on her tonight, and so he takes advantage of her sudden shocked stillness to shove those skirts up, to work his hand beneath them -- up higher, past the knife fastened to her leg, higher yet, probing between her thighs. She’s wet but it doesn’t surprise him, not with that wickedness gleaming in her eyes before. He knows how she enjoys teasing him.

(This isn’t about her.)

His hand withdraws -- she cants her hips towards him, chasing the touch, and he gives her another smack for her troubles before bunching up the skirts and closing her hands around them. He half-expects her to try to run, even with his legs bracketing hers making that difficult, but she doesn’t, doesn’t do anything but curl her fingers tightly around the fabric as he works the buttons on his breeches free one-handed, shoves his drawers out of the way, takes his prick in hand and lines himself up.

She’s wet but she’s not ready yet, and he’s not in any kind of mood to prepare her or give her the time for that. There is nothing gentle in his rhythm; if she is going to call him a brute, then he’s more than willing to prove her right, thrusting into her with little regard for how she is gasping, the sound somewhere between pain and pleasure. Her hands clench spasmodically around the skirts and he watches them work as he shoves in again, hard, again, again --

With how on-edge he is it doesn’t take long before he’s on the verge of spending. Having her like this always brings out the beast in him, but never before has he cared so little about whether she finds her own pleasure. He knows she’s aroused from the wet clench of her cunt around him and the needy whimpers that escape her throat and the pale-knuckled grip her fingers have on her gown, but he knows her body better than he knows his own and knows it’s not enough, won’t be enough, and tonight -- tonight that suits his purposes better than anything he might have planned. There’s a dark place inside him that thinks about putting her on her knees here, forcing her to finish him off with her mouth while leaving her thoroughly unslaked, but the need to claim her is overwhelming and he’s close, close, so damned close, and she’s swearing at him, squirming against his grip to try to find some purchase, some deeper sensation, and hearing those epithets (bastard, brute, selfish beast) tumble from her lips is the sweetest music to his rage and it’s enough to push him over, white-hot and shuddering as he loses himself within her.

She’s still swearing when he lifts his head from her shoulder an interminable time later, still grinding her hips back against him, desperate for friction. When he pulls away she curses him; he drags his now-soft cock against her inner thigh in retaliation, admires the way his spend glistens there. “Maybe this will remind you of who you belong to out there,” he says darkly as he does the same to her other thigh, cleans himself on soft, pale skin. When he’s tucked himself away and done up his breeches once more he finally releases her wrists, deliberately tugging the fabric out of her grip and smoothing her skirts down again. Her fingers flex on the empty air.

She turns back to him on slightly unsteady legs. “I have hands,” she retorts. “If you're not husband enough to tend to your wife --”

He cuts her off before she can finish, “The wife who owes me her obedience? You’ll keep those hands off yourself if you know what’s good for you, Anne.”

It’s clear, in how her eyes go wide, that she hadn't expected this. A savage satisfaction knifes through him as he watches her realise what he means and the broader ramifications sink in. She swallows, audible in the silence that follows.

“You get what I permit you,” he continues, “and nothing more. For anything I do not … there will be consequences.”

She has never been the kind to back down, and she’s clearly not about to start now. Her chin lifts; defiance is there in eyes still gone dark but her voice betrays none of her need as she says, “Then will you escort me back inside, _husband_?”

It’s a challenge, but he has scarcely begun to make her pay.

If he had been expecting her to behave any differently upon their return to the festivities, he would have been sorely disappointed. But she has never been the sort to comply, not even when she’d pretended at demure innocence back in Pinon, and while he has always been drawn to her fire right now he thinks that he could quite easily beat her for it, leave her unable to move without feeling the ache of welted thighs and rear. He watches as she slips away from him to converse with a young courtier, bristles as the lad tries (and fails, repeatedly, to keep his eyes on her face instead of the bared swell of her breasts, and imagines what she’d look like shifting from foot to foot as she talks in a futile effort to ease that ache.

It takes him a minute to realise it’s not _just_ his imagination running rampant, but once he does he finds he cannot tear his gaze away. He can only guess at what it must feel like, the liquid heat still pooling between her thighs and unfulfilled desire cramping her belly. The thought eases the anger but makes him no more inclined to mercy; if anything, it firms his resolve to just the opposite, and the devilish gleam in her eyes when they catch his next does nothing to counter that impulse.

At first he just watches, leaning back against a wall, muscles less tense than they’ve been all evening in the wake of their encounter. The anger may have faded to a simmer but it’s still there, fed by how her hand lightly brushes the lad’s arm before she excuses herself. Her breathing has steadied by the time she joins him once more, and the smile that tugs at her kiss-swollen lips is wicked.

Before she can say a word, he reaches out and drags the pad of his thumb across her lower lip. Her mouth parts; she nips at the tip of his finger before easing the slight sting with her tongue. His body makes a valiant effort to respond but it’s far too soon, and while a part of him is disappointed it’s better this way, when it means he can concentrate on her without distractions. She’s calmed too much and he wants her trembling again, and so he pushes his thumb between her lips, against her tongue.

“I should have had you on your knees before,” the words spill out before he’s given them any thought, spurred by the way her eyes drift closed and his thoughts spiral back to where he’d begun the evening. “Finished in your mouth and left you tasting me for the rest of this night.”

It has the desired effect; her breath hitches, stutters out against his hand. It’s his turn now to smile, a dangerous smirk as his thumb works in and out slowly for a few repetitions before withdrawing. He does nothing more, just watches the way colour stains her pale skin and her breasts strain against her bodice with every breath. “Tell me,” he murmurs, just loudly enough for her to hear, “would you have enjoyed that -- wondering with every person you spoke to if they could smell me on your breath? Wondering if they all could guess at what you’d done back there, and how much more you needed?”

Heavy eyelids lift once more. She looks out over the crowds, her eyes dark, hazy. “Perhaps I’d have taken one of those impressionable young men aside and shown him,” she counters, and despite the challenge of the words there is a tremor in her voice which he knows well, “and then put him on _his_ knees for my own pleasure. You liked being there well enough, husband -- I’m sure I could find another who would rise to the task you’re neglecting.”

“I should beat you for your insolence.” And he thinks not of bringing the lash down on her skin but of the unexpected softening of her eyes when she’d seen the old whip for the first time in years, of how she’d arched into his touch when he’d run his hand over the marks it had left. From the way she shifts to press her legs together and the little needy sound tight in her throat, he suspects she too is thinking back to that encounter in England. His fingers close around her wrist a shade too tightly, pain in contrast to the arousal he can see riding her, and her gaze snaps back to his. “Remember my warning.”

“Only what you give me,” she parrots back. No matter how her body may feel, she always seems able to fire back retorts. “All talk and no action -- is there something that keeps you from more?” Her hip brushes against his groin as she turns, leaning on the wall beside him and glancing at him sidelong from under lowered lashes. The challenge in her eyes and in her stance betrays nothing of how tightly wound she must be.

“Are my words not enough for you?” he counters, darkly amused to hear her mutter an oath under her breath in response.

“You’ll have to try harder.”

And she’s been challenging him since they walked back through the door, knowing that with all the people around there are limitations to what he can do -- knowing that they cannot leave, not yet, not without arousing suspicion. No matter how much he’d like to put a hand under her skirts and give her ‘harder’, all he can make use of here are words and the kind of touches that would go unremarked-upon in public -- his finger in her mouth had been dangerously forward and he will not chance something like that again. But it’s no better for her, when she’s had no satisfaction; that is his only consolation in this moment.

He pushed away from the wall abruptly, spins to offer her an ironic half-bow. “Will you dance, wife?” The words may be a question but his eyes make it an order, and she looks back at him, suspicion and surprise warring in her gaze.

In the end she says nothing, just places her hand in his and lets him escort her to one side of the hall, where a quartet is playing music in the steady, sedate measures of a sarabande. He does nothing untoward, however, just guides her into a spot among the dancers to join in, and when that dance finishes and they exchange courtesies he can see confusion rising in her eyes. But the musicians continue after a brief pause, and the next notes are a volte, and as he takes her hand he brushes his thumb over the delicate skin at the inside of her wrist and smiles to feel the faintest of anticipatory tremors.

_La volte_ is faster than the sarabande, quick steps that demand focus and precision. It’s a more intimate dance as well, one that had once scandalised the courts of Europe, and though it has become far more proper since its introduction it still suits his purposes admirably. When they close position, his hand on her waist and hers on his shoulder, he takes the opportunity as she springs up for the first turn.

“Imagine,” he murmurs, just barely loudly enough for her to hear, “what would happen if I were to take you here, with all these people around us.” Another turn, another leap, another lift. “Pull you into my lap and seat you on my cock and make you come screaming.” Pivot, leap, lift, her eyes locked on his, dark and hot and liquid with shocked desire. “Make sure everyone knows beyond doubt who you belong to,” he finishes as he sets her back on her feet after the last leap, gratified to see how she stumbles just a little before regaining her footing. He’ll do nothing of the sort and she knows that, no matter how satisfying it might be to imagine, but knowing doesn’t seem to be enough to keep her breath from coming faster at the idea. _You’d like that,_ the challenge in his eyes says, as the patterns of the dance separate them before she can frame a retort, and he can feel her eyes burning into him as he turns to bow to his new partner.

She’s flushed by the time the dance returns them to each other for the closing measures, more than the dancing alone could account for, and shakes her head wordlessly when he asks if she’d like to stay for another. “Take me home,” she says once they're free of the throngs that surround that corner, and he smiles at the pleading note she can’t quite mask.

“Had enough?”

Her tongue darts out to wet her lips; this close, he can see her pulse shivering in the shadow of velvet ribbon and a lock of hair that’s tumbled loose. It makes him want to lick away the sweat there, taste her skin and feel a moan reverberate beneath his mouth. _Soon,_ he promises himself, _soon,_ but first first they must make their way out of this hall (a journey interrupted more than once by a need to bid farewell to some notable or another, and he damns title and position both even as he drags a nail covertly down her skin and watches her bite her lip to hold back any reaction) and then wait for a carriage to be brought around and then finally, mercifully, the door has been closed to leave them in privacy for the return trip back into Paris.

She glares at him when he settles beside her, but it doesn’t stop her from responding to his kiss. He can feel the hitch of her breathing, but it is the whimper that rises in her throat when he gentles the kiss that decides him. He’s in no mood to end this just yet.

“You never answered my question.”

“I --” she begins but he gives in to earlier impulse and mouths at her throat, bites down hard enough that it'll leave a mark, and any reply she might have made is lost in a shuddering gasp. “Damn it, Athos --”

“Beg me.”

She pushes him back; he lets her, sinks into the bench opposite and watches two different fires war in her eyes before her jaw tightens and she shakes her head.

“Then lift your skirts.” It both gratifies and amuses him to see how she hastens to do as bidden, bunching satin and taphata in her fists and drawing them high. Her pale thighs are pressed tightly together, shifting minutely against each other to try to relieve some of her arousal. In the confines of the carriage the scent of her sex is heady.

“Spread your legs.”

This time she is slower to comply, makes a small sound of protest at the loss of friction, but soon her legs are splayed wide and he can clearly see the glistening folds of her sex. Streaks of white have dried on her thighs, unmistakeable sign of the shadowed encounter that began all this.

“Touch yourself. One finger only.” And, when she starts to strip her gloves off, “Leave them. And remember: you still may not finish.”

Her eyes meet his; her pupils are blown, black threatening to eclipse the green, her lips slightly parted. She does not look away as she gathers the skirts into one hand and reaches down with the other. One gloved finger traces along the wet seam of her sex and her breath hitches in, rattles out unsteadily as it drags over the swollen nub at the apex. “Athos --”

“Rub it. Slowly -- no, slower.” His prick is stirring, slowly filling again with renewed interest, but he ignores it in favour of watching that white-gloved finger move against rosy flesh, tracing achingly slow circles while her lashes flutter.

He watches her -- the thud of her pulse, the way her breasts strain against her bodice with each gasp and sigh, the press of her teeth into her lower lip, pain to counter the rising pleasure. Watches and directs -- has her dip one finger into her cunt, a second, lets her grind against the heel of her hand as she does so -- but pulls her back every time he sees her get close to peaking. He knows what he wants from her, what he's been waiting for, and she hasn’t given it to him yet, and even if his own arousal is returning he’s in no hurry. Not yet.

It’s harder to judge travel in a closed carriage than it is on horseback, but as the carriage rattles off the wooden span of the bridge, he realises how close they are to his rooms. He realises how close she is too, that desperate whine tight in the back of her throat, and --

“Stop.”

“Please --” the word tears free as she stills her fingers but does not yet move her hand, “Olivier, _please_ \--”

And there it is, the name he’s wanted to hear on her lips all evening, the one that tells him, more surely than any professions she might utter, that the woman before him is his alone. It gentles the fingers he shackles her wrist with, implacably pulling her hand away. “Soon,” he murmurs. “Just a little longer, Anne, I swear.”

She releases the death-grip she has on her skirts at his coaxing, lets him set them to rights as he had earlier in the corridor. A tap to her knee lets her know she can close her legs again, and he watches as she does so to shift restlessly on the bench, chasing that elusive edge. It’s good; he doesn’t want her to come down too far. With how uncomfortably tight his breeches have grown, he suspects he won’t last long once they get upstairs, and this time he wants her with him when he spends.

By the time they arrive a few minutes later he’s grown rather impatient himself, and is grateful he need do no more than exchange a nod with the driver before the carriage rattles back off towards the north. He’s more grateful still for incurious neighbours, when she proves unsteady enough that he has to half-support, half-carry her. But they make it up the seemingly-endless stairs, and he gets the door open and then locked again behind them, and with the privacy he’s wanted all evening he’s suddenly free to do as he pleases, release all the restraints civility and propriety demand, and he crushes her to the wall and claims her mouth as his hands push frantically at her clothes and his own by turns. It would be easy to finish things like this, hot and quick and furious no more than a step past the threshold, but he wants more -- wants all of her, arching and aching and _his_.

His doublet falls away, her bodice follows; a trail of discarded fabric litters the pathway from door to bed. His boots frustrate them both briefly and end up hurled into the corner for it, but soon all that remains is her corset and chemise, and he fumbles at the laces with fingers made more clumsy by impatience, a situation not helped in the slightest by how she grinds her linen-shrouded backside against his naked prick. _More,_ she moans, half plea and half demand, _more_ and _now_ and the broken syllables of the name only she calls him by, and when he reaches for the knife still at her thigh and pauses, _yes, god, just get it off me already,_ and what can he do but oblige?

She stands before him, pale and flushed and bare, and he wants to bury his head between her thighs and kiss and suck and bite until she's crying out for him, almost as much as he wants to tangle his fingers into her hair and push her to her knees and watch her lips stretch around his cock as she takes him deep, but he wants neither of those things so much as to bury himself in her and wrap himself around her until he is all she knows, and so he kisses her again, bears her down onto the bed. Her body curves into his, a desperate yearning arch as she reaches for him.

_This,_ he thinks, _nothing will ever be like this_ \-- the feel of her hot around his cock as he drives into her, wet against his fingers as he finds her clit, soft curves and sharp bones and the desperate clutch of her fingers. The tendons of her neck stand out in sharp relief as her head falls back, teeth digging into her lip so hard he thinks she might draw blood, and he realises he had nearly forgotten his earlier words in the ecstasy of homecoming and --

“Now,” he tells her, burying himself in her to the hilt and halting to trace slick skin with fingertips and the barest scrape of nails. “Now,” he urges, though she needs no encouraging, and watches in wonder and greedy delight as the arch of her spine pulls impossibly tighter before she spends, clenching and shuddering and crying out, watches until he can no longer bear to stay still and has to move again, so hard he thinks he might burst or break, and it takes only a few short strokes before everything within him tightens, sharpens, and the world whites out and all he knows is her, her, her.

When awareness returns it begins with the scents of sweat and skin mingled with the fading floral ghost of her perfume. His face is buried in the crook of her neck, and as he gathers himself to move away she shivers despite the warm air of early summer; he gathers her to him as he rolls onto his side, folds himself around her and draws the blankets up about her shoulders. His mind is too restless for sleep just yet but it’s pleasant to lie like this for a little, his body relaxed and hers curling into him as the world of everyday creeps back in. His fingers work into her hair, as is his habit during idylls like these -- loose pins and twists and braids, tease free the tangles so he can card his fingers through it, rub gently against her scalp. She makes no sound at first, but gradually the tremors subside and her breathing steadies and she draws back to put some space between them. He lets her, no matter how he wants to hold her close, but his fingers slide through her hair and leave him toying with the ends of her curls as they look at each other in the dimness of the room.

There are a thousand questions he wants to ask, about tonight and tomorrow and innumerable other things, but the words never come easily and tonight is no exception. It is as if he used all of his capacity for them earlier and so he rises wordlessly, retrieves a mug and fills it and offers it to her. Her fingers brush against his as she takes it; he watches her throat work as she drinks. As her head tips back the imprint of his teeth is starkly visible on her collarbone, certain to leave a bruise. She will have to wear high-necked gowns for at least a week to hide it, and that thought satisfies him more than it should but even like this, sated and with the sight of her falling apart at his command seared into his memory, that possessive desire remains. His only consolation is that it is reciprocal, though he still fears that it may mean they one day eat each other alive.

But he has known the world without without her, and he knows that while he may not be a good man when he is with her, he is a worse one without. He has lived that world, thinking her dead and thinking her gone or forever out of his reach, and he does not think he could bear any of those realities again. Small wonder that he clings too fiercely, needs too deeply, feels empty and adrift without something of her, no matter if he wields the lash or bares himself to its sting.

“Olivier,” her voice, quiet but steady now, slips through the tangle of his thoughts and brings him back to the present; when he looks up she’s watching him, green eyes too knowing by far -- but then again, she has always seen to the heart of him. It is, he thinks, a notion that should concern him more than it does.

She never asks; she is no better with admissions than he is. But he knows that look and he knows what she needs (knows he needs it too) and it draws him back to her side. They lie there in silence, the air heavy with all the words they cannot find, and yet with his fingers anchored in her hair and her cheek soft against his chest he thinks that perhaps after everything this can be enough.
